("Asiamet" or the "Company")

2024 Director's Fees and Employee Share-Based Payments

Asiamet Resources Limited announces that the Board of Directors have opted to receive the fees due to them under their respective employment contracts for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, in the form of new common shares of US$0.01 each in the Company ("Common Shares") in lieu of cash ("Fee Shares"). In addition, Asiamet announces the issue of new Common Shares to certain members of management under the Company's performance rights plan (the "Performance Rights Shares").  

Fee Shares

The issue price applicable to issue of the Fee Shares is equal to the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's Common Shares over the 10 trading days immediately following publication of the Company's Annual Accounts as released on 29 May 2025, being approximately 0.96 pence per new Common Share (the "Issue Price").

The award of Fee Shares to directors for their annual fees for 2024 is set out below:

Tony Manini                       3,082,521 new Common Shares

Dominic Heaton                3,467,901 new Common Shares

Bruce Sheng                       2,697,245 new Common Shares

Eva Armila                           3,082,521 new Common Shares

Matthew Doube              2,876,235 new Common Shares

Asiamet's former board member, Peter Chambers, shall be awarded 4,458,596 Fee Shares for both his time spent on the board until his resignation on 7 October 2024 and as remuneration for his employment as a Senior Advisor to Asiamet's Board of Directors from 2025.

Performance Rights Shares

In addition to the abovementioned Fee Shares issuance, the Company shall award a further 11,779,189 performance rights in the form of new Common Shares in Asiamet at the Issue Price to certain employees for their contribution to the Company during 2024 and as a long-term incentive. This includes 1,807,245 Performance Rights Shares allocated to Tony Manini (Executive Chairman), 8,315,721 Performance Rights Shares to Darryn McClelland (CEO) and 1,656,223 Performance Rights Shares to other Asiamet employees.  

Following the issue of the Fee Shares and Performance Rights Shares, the shareholdings of the directors (including direct and indirect holdings) and other PDMR will be as follows:

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application has been made for the 31,444,208 new Common Shares (comprising the aggregate 19,665,019 Fee Shares and 11,779,189 Performance Rights Shares) to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the new Common Shares will commence on or around 19 September 2025. The new Common Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Common Shares in the Company.

The total number of Common Shares outstanding on Admission shall be 3,244,428,850 Common Shares. This represents the total number of voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure guidance and Transparency Rules.
